We just pulled onto higway from campground started to see smoke and something flew off that caught my eye off or the rear most axel on the drivers side. Pulled over once it was safe, dowsed axel, rim & tire with fire extinguisher. No fire at this time, but was very hot & smokey. Had to pull over 4 more times with in 5 miles to do the same thing. Made it to our home where we hosed axel, rim & tire until it was cool to the touch. Backed 5th wheel into driveway and rim snapped completely off of axel. Contacted manufacture that evenin via e-mail. Manufacture says they are getting new axel & shackles made, should be shipped to us by 7/14/17 to replace. Guessing barring siezed and leak at rear backing plate
Grease had leaked through bearing seals into brakes on lippert axles. They were not "over greased"grand design momentum 385th 2015.
We were traveling on the interstate when we saw smoke coming from our most rear axel on the passenger side. A passing car indicated we had a fire. We pulled over when it was safe to. Used 4 fire extinguishers as well as called 911 when fire department sprayed as well. Found that the baring siezed up in the axel. We had local tire shop assist with getting us back on the road. Contacted manufacture. They authorized repairs. Repairs were done at purchasing dealership.
